Hello Chuck
Check for 524 byte sectors. Esp if drives might have been used on
AS/400's or other similar transplanted martian technology. There is VMS
RZDISK.EXE which can correct 524 byte sector problems, not sure for the
BSD's.

Hello ClassicCmp and Port-vax,
I am trying to track down the compatibility of the VS3100/MS SCSI bus with
"modern" SCSI drives. The case in point is that I'm trying to connect a
SeaGate Barracuda (ST32550N) drive (2.54GB SCSI) to the internal bus,
replacing a 426MB Seagate drive. When the drive is installed the system
gets indigestion. I'm currently attempting to disable parity on the drive
in case that is an issue.
Has anyone done something similar? Is there some caveat I've missed?
Obviously the DEC manual isn't much help :-)
